A systolic array for high performance adaptive beamforming
Abstract
A new technique for adaptive antenna beamforming is described which provides very rapid adaptation. The technique avoids the explicit computation of the covariance matrix estimate and this results in a reduced sensitivity to limited arithmetic precision. The proposed algorithm may be implemented in an efficient pipeline architecture using a triangular systolic array.
